Instrument cluster ground
Hello all,
On to my next project, getting my gauges back. None of them work. I checked fuse # 18, it's good. So next step would be to check the ground. Where is it?
Thanks, mike

The instruments are grounded at 1 of 2 points: on each side of the cab, under the dash, behind the plastic kick panels in front of the doors.
If that's not it, make sure the connectors on the back of the instrument cluster are plugged in fully.

Thank you phy. I will check those grounds. I was in the process of pulling the instrument panel, but the speedo cable won't let be get it out far enough to see what's going on behind it. Do I disconnect it at the other end to give me some space? Is there another trick?
